Can you please run garbage collection on my repository?
I've reduced the size of the local repo to 1.5GB but I am still unable to push changes.

Hi @dannybravo and welcome to the community!

I don't see any repository over the size limit among the ones you have access to.

  • Could you please provide the first two letters of the repo name and the first two letters of the workspace where this repo belongs?
  • Could you also please let me know what is the error you get when you try to push?

I did notice that one of your Bitbucket workspaces is over the plan limit, specifically, the workspace whose name ends with the letter 't'. Pushes to the repos of this workspace are disabled until you remove some users from this workspace (up to 5 for the Free plan) or upgrade to a paid billing plan. If you'd like to remove users from this workspace, open it on Bitbucket's website, select the cog icon (from the top right corner) > select Workspace settings > select User directory from the left sidebar. On that page, you'll see all users with access to the workspace and you can remove certain users from the Actions column.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Welcome @dannybravo 

You should make a request ticket for Atlassian for this. I would suggest to wait a bit more, since Atlassian team is also active in here.

Hi Danny! That should have solved your issue, as documentation suggests that garbage collection is automatically triggered when repo size is reduced. But since that is not the case, here are further instructions from Atlassian -

If your repository size is not reduced after taking these steps, it may mean that you need to remove any large files in order to rewrite history. After you have rewritten the history, if the repository size is still over 75% of the size limit, we will automatically run garbage collection on your repository, which should reduce it to a manageable size. If that does not solve your repository size issue, you will need to contact our Support team to run garbage collection for you and reduce your repository size.

I'm at the stage where "If that does not solve your repository size issue, you will need to contact our Support team to run garbage collection for you and reduce your repository size."
